Hello dear blogging friends! I sure hope I have sparked your interest in getting crafty and creating a treasured keepsake for yourself or that special someone. Today, the following Waltzingmouse Stamps: Hocus Pocus, A Cottage Home, Say it Loud Autumn/Winter and A Cottage Christmas may be purchased today ~ click HERE. Today, Claire, WM DT members and myself will be sharing projects using the NEW A Cottage Christmas. If you arrived here from Belinda's blog, then you are right where you should be! If not, please hop back over to Claire'sblog where the celebration began!A few minor details: As with all of Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team Blog Waltzes, you have the opportunity to win a stamp set of your choice. There will be a prize (a stamp set of choice) via a random drawing from one of the Design Team Members blog.First up is a card I made featuring a sweet sentiment from A Cottage Christmas:

One of the MANY things I LOVE about Claire's stamps is how so many coordinate with Spellbinders die templates. Not sure if Claire had the Spellbinders Labels Twelve die template in hand or mind when designing this set but it sure makes a perfect frame showcasing that gorgeous sentiment!

Next, is a little tag featuring yet another beautiful sentiment:

I dug through my stash of Quikutz dies from years ago and found the darling house die so I upcycled a piece of cardboard making a fun little embellishment. I brushed on some Claudine Hellmuth Studio One Canvas paint for a little white washed effect.

Those sentiments fit perfectly with your elegant cards, Mona! Love the little tree, the touch of red pearls, and the painted cardboard house. You have the BEST taste in patterned papers! You always use them so perfectly with your creations!!

You have an unique style to work with WM stamps and every release I love to have a look here and see what you came up with. And you didn't disappoint me )( in fact you never do hee hee) And i am thinking again..my oh my where did she get the idea?? Love the card, love the tag...every single piece and bit!

The whitewashed effect on this card is gorgeous! The little house and all the paper and stitching with the great sentiment on a Spellbinder diecut all add up to a really nice card I know I will "attempt" once I get my new stamps!

Mona! Your projects are gorgeous. I've been so busy and unable to check out my favorite blogs these last few days, but I am so glad that I made it to yours today! Love the "Home Made" tag! That little rustic house is just precious.

I love the splashes of white on your card and tag. It makes them look very Christmasy. Here in Arizona, it's hard not to yearn for the white Christmases I've enjoyed in the past while living in the Midwest and East Coast.

I finally figured out why Blogger wouldn't let me coment! So ignore comment #86 (anonymous). I love the cottages stamp set! I'm partial to miniature houses, and have a small collection of them. So this set is, as they say, right up my alley. Thanks for sharing
